Twice a month, it becomes a destination for him.*(L-R) Sameen Borker, Fayesal Siddiqui, Heema Joshi, Sandhya Kannan at the Pali Market postbox in Bandra*<br />
<br />
The 28-year-old, who is currently assisting his father at his law firm, religiously ditches emails, Whatsapp, Snapchat or any other form of e-communication for his once-a-month snail mail date with friends. Most often they land up in the letter box of Vashi resident Sameen Borker. Borker started writing letters to her friends 10 years ago, when she moved from Mazgaon to Navi Mumbai. Siddiqui was one of those who’d get a visit from the postman. “It’s not that we don’t communicate on Internet platforms. It’s just that we like writing letters, and feel that it is an art that needs to be kept alive,” says Siddiqui who co-founded the Bookhad blog on Wordpress where the two review books.<br />
<br />
But, they aren’t alone in their endeavour to keep snail mail alive. “Social networking has taken the charm out of communication,” says Ravi Kiran, who will start working for a Chennai publishing house this month. The 25-year-old feels the joy of a letter lies in its anticipation. “The whole process of writing a letter, waiting for a response lends it a surreal quality. There’s a pleasure in the tardy discovery of the other person,” says Kiran who has been writing letters for the past seven years. But, once everything has been said in emails and tweets and Facebook posts, what’s left? “The usual,” he says, “We discuss books, movies, and travel.”*Drew ­Bartkiewicz*<br />
<br />
Kiran was reintroduced to the love to letter-writing through a mobile app called Lettrs which allows you to digitally compose a letter with a range of cursive fonts, paper types and stamps to choose from. The app, which was launched as a web interface in 2013, allows you to write personal letters, or if you prefer, make them public. “My ramblings on Lettrs were appreciated by people from countries like Romania, Puerto Rico, Germany and Spain,” gushes Kiran who often writes virtual letters to these new ‘pen pals’. “Handwritten letters are limited to friends in Mumbai and Bangalore, because you’re assured that it’ll get delivered within a week,” he adds.<br />
<br />
Drew Bartkiewicz, founder and CEO of Lettrs.com, says a desire to create a lasting communication prompted him to set up the company. “In the summer of ’94, I fell in love with a girl from Madrid. I returned to the US and then we had six months of long form letter writing back and forth,” says Bartkiewicz who later married the same woman. A few years ago, the 48-year-old brought out all the old letters for his three children. “To my surprise, the letters evoked an interest in them. But, technology was necessary to sustain the interest in a 16-year-old who texts and tweets at lightning speed,” he says. The app today has more than two million users across 170 countries. Indian users rank second in number after America.<br />
<br />
Indian letters, Bartkiewicz says, are intriguing. “Not only are they well written, but also original, poetic, funny and insightful,” he says. In fact, Lettrs hired an Indian staffer, Sunandini Bansal in January, who is in charge of user interaction.<br />
<br />
Mumbai-based content writer, Sandhya Kannan, makes a pitstop at the post office near her Mulund residence atleast once in three months. “People queue up for bill payments, but rarely do I see them at the letter box,” she says. For her friends who don’t write letters, Sandhya’s love for letters is ‘faschinating’. “They like receiving letters, but never write back,” she sulks. “But that doesn't stop me from writing,” she smiles.<br />
<br />
Bartkiewicz feels technology hasn’t wrung the death knell for letters. “It has just made us rethink how letters can be reinvented. Not everything in life done faster the better. Letters are like fine wine or a sunset walk, the slower the better,” he says.

<br />
In an interview published Saturday in conjunction with a scheduled campaign stop on the island, the former Maryland governor addressed the escalating financial crisis with Puerto Rican daily newspaper El Nuevo Dia, stressing “the obligation to help and fight injustice” through aggressive policy change. <br />
<br />
“The main thing we need to do is extend the same bankruptcy protections that we have on the federal level to Puerto Rico,” O’Malley said.<br />
<br />
O’Malley also touched on the island’s mounting health care crisis, which includes cuts or reductions to vital programs like Medicare Advantage.<br />
<br />
“We need to level the playing field in terms of healthcare, specifically normalizing low Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates to equal those stateside,” O’Malley said. “Those two things, Chapter 9 and healthcare reform, can do a lot to help Puerto Rico solve this debt crisis.”<br />
<br />
O’Malley is the first official candidate in the 2016 field to make the trip down to the island. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) visited the commonwealth in back in April before making an official jump into the race. <br />
<br />
Asked about his decision to make Puerto Rico a campaign stop, O’Malley joked it was “probably due to my Irish background” and “having ties to an island that has also been treated unfairly.”<br />
<br />
Puerto Rico holds no votes in the Electoral College and its 3.5 million residents aren’t eligible to vote in the general election. However, due to dire economic straits, locals have been moving in droves to swing states such as Florida in search of better financial prospects. The island also participates in both Republican and Democratic presidential primaries -- a fact not lost on O’Malley.<br />
<br />
“Puerto Rico does send delegates to the Democratic National Convention, and there is a significant number of Puerto Ricans that live in and across the country, not just Florida,” O’Malley said. “[Puerto Rico’s] people have been part of the United States for more than 100 years. We have an obligation to help.”<br />
<br />
Fellow Democratic presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) have come out in favor of extending Chapter 9 protections to help mitigate Puerto Rico’s $72 billion debt crisis -- calling for Congress to pass legislation already on the books.<br />
<br />
As the island continues its financial downward spiral, O’Malley emphasized the need for immediate action.<br />
<br />
“For the good of the country and for the sake of our credibility in the hemisphere, we have the obligation to act and help our fellow citizens, whose sons and daughters have fought on the battlefield to defend our country,” he said. “We can’t let Puerto Rico fail.”<br />

<br />
*Are you ready for what is coming in August? * All over America, economic, political and social tensions are building, and the next 30 days could turn out to be pivotal. In July, we saw things start to turn. As you will read about below, a major six year trendline for the S&P 500 was finally broken this month, Chinese stocks crashed, commodities crashed, and debt problems started erupting all over the planet. *I fully expect that this next month (August) will be a month of transition as we enter an extremely chaotic time in the fall and winter. *<br />
<br />
Things are unfolding in textbook fashion for another major global financial crisis in the months ahead, and yet most people refuse to see what is happening. * In their blind optimism, they want to believe that things will somehow be different this time. * Well, the coming months will definitely reveal who was right and who was wrong. The following are 11 red flag events that just happened as we enter the pivotal month of August 2015…<br />
<br />
*#1* Puerto Rico is going to default on a 58 million dollar debt payment that is due on Saturday. Even though this has serious implications for the U.S. financial system, Barack Obama has said that there will be no bailout for “America’s Greece”.<br />
<br />
*#2* As James Bailey has pointed out, the most important trendline for the S&P 500 has finally been broken after holding up for six years. This is a critical technical signal that will likely motivate a significant number of investors to sell off their holdings in the weeks ahead.<br />
<br />
*#3* The IMF is indicating that it will not take part in the new Greek debt deal. As a result, the whole thing may completely fall apart…<br />
<br />
<i><br />
<br />
Leaked minutes of the fund’s latest board meeting, which took place on Wednesday, showed staff “*cannot reach agreement at this stage*” on whether to take part in the new €86bn (£60bn) bailout for Greece. The document said there were doubts over the capacity of the Athens Government to implement economic reforms, as well as the over the sustainability of the country’s sovereign debt pile, which is now projected to hit 200 percent of GDP.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, only sanctioned a new Greek deal earlier this month *on the condition that the IMF takes part*.<br />
<br />
</i><br />
<br />
*#4* Italy is going down the exact same path as Greece, but Italy is going to be a much larger problem for Europe because it has a far, far larger economy. This week, we learned that youth unemployment in Italy has reached a 38-year high of 44 percent, and Italy’s debt to GDP ratio has now hit 135 percent.<br />
<br />
*#5* The Canadian economy has officially entered a new recession. This is something that was not supposed to happen.<br />
<br />
*#6* The price of oil plummeted close to 20 percent during the month of July. It was the worst month for the price of oil that we have seen since October 2008, which just happened to be during the height of the last financial crisis.<br />
<br />
*#7* Commodities just had their worst month in almost four years. As I have written about previously, we witnessed a collapse in commodity prices just before the stock market crash of 2008 too.<br />
<br />
*#8* Thanks to Barack Obama, the U.S. coal industry is imploding, and some of the largest coal producers in the entire country have just announced that they are declaring bankruptcy…<br />
<br />
<i><br />
<br />
On Thursday, Bloomberg reported that the biggest American producer of coking coal, Alpha Natural Resources, could file for bankruptcy as soon as Monday.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Competitor Walter Energy filed for bankruptcy earlier this month, and several others have done the same this year.<br />
<br />
</i><br />
<br />
*#9* For the month of July, the Shanghai Composite Index was down 13.4 percent. Despite unprecedented government intervention to prop up the market, it was the worst month for Chinese stocks since October 2009.<br />
<br />
*#10* A major red flag that a recession in the United States is fast approaching is the fact that Exxon Mobile just announced their worst earnings for a single quarter since 2009. Compared to the same time period one year ago, Exxon Mobile’s earnings were down 51 percent.<br />
<br />
*#11* Chevron is another oil giant that has seen earnings plunge. In the second quarter of this year, Chevron’s earnings were down an eye-popping 90 percent from a year ago.<br />
<br />
And in this list I didn’t even mention the economic chaos that is happening down in South America. For full coverage of that, please see my previous article entitled “The South American Financial Crisis Of 2015“.<br />
<br />
To a certain extent, I can understand why most Americans are not alarmed about the months ahead. The relative stability of the past several years has lulled most of us into a false sense of security, and the mainstream media is assuring everyone that everything is going to be just fine and that brighter days are ahead. At this point, many believe that it is patently absurd to suggest that we could see an economic collapse in 2015. But of course even though the signs were glaringly apparent, very few of us anticipated the financial crisis of 2008 either.<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago, I authored a piece entitled “The Last Days Of ‘Normal Life’ In America“, and I stand by every single word of that article. I truly believe that the era of debt-fueled prosperity that we have been enjoying for so long is coming to an end, and our standard of living will never again get back to this level.<br />
<br />
Just yesterday, I had the chance to go over and stock up on some emergency supplies at a dollar store. It always astounds me what you can still buy for a dollar. The combined cost of raw materials, manufacturing, packaging, shipping and retailing most of these items shouldn’t be less than a dollar, but thanks to having the reserve currency of the world we are still able to go to these big box stores and fill up our carts with lots and lots of extremely inexpensive merchandise.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this massively inflated standard of living is going to come crashing to a halt. This next financial crisis is going to destroy the system that is currently producing such comfortable lifestyles for the vast majority of us, and that will be an extremely painful experience.<br />
<br />
So enjoy this summer for as long as it lasts. Even though August threatens to be pivotal, it is going to be nothing compared to what will follow.<br />
<br />
Fall and winter are coming.<br />
<br />
Prepare while there is still time to do so.
